           Summary: [GTK] Remove
                    WebKitInstallMissingMediaPluginsPermissionRequest

The WebKitInstallMissingMediaPluginsPermissionRequest API has been broken for six years, ever since we fixed bug #135972. Let's remove this from our GTK 4 API.

We might eventually create a new API to handle codec installation, see bug #147822, but I don't think it's terribly urgent or important. Normally you can either offer codecs and install them by default (e.g. Debian), or you can't offer them at all (e.g. Fedora). Having a codec installer that's either not needed or cannot work is not super useful either way.
